A recent story from the website Business Insider is, however, throwing some love the Alamo City’s way.

Earlier this month, Business Insider Writer Harrison Jacobs wrote a story, “The 15 Cities That Are Driving The Future.”

Surprise, San Antonio, which took the No. 12 spot in the Milken report, is among those cities highlighted in Jacobs’ story.

“Medical isn’t the only thing driving development,” writes Jacobs. “San Antonio is also home to the largest oil and gas development in the world in the Eagle Ford Shale. Record drilling levels and high-yield wells are pumping new jobs into energy and related sectors.”

It’s also worth repeating that San Antonio jumped 10 spots between Milken’s 2012 and 2013 reports.

Tricia Lynn Silva is assistant managing editor of the newspaper. She assists in the management of the newsroom and plans and coordinates special publications.
